Our food dishes come with beer recommendations so you can fully enjoy our quality dishes with the beer that best suits.Our weekday lunch menu offers both healthy and tasty options at a reasonable price which appeals to all tastes. Our Butchers Bar is ideal for large groups and parties big or small.

I was dragged in here for dinner last Thursday by a reprobate called Ronan O'Dulaing and several of his Avvio henchmen/women. Dinner turned out to be not at all bad (sea bass) but the ales were fine. 12-14 Irish micro-brews and the star of the show a cask barrel on the bar from Dungarvan.

Down with Guinness. Ireland is very expensive.

The ribs here are wonderful. Tender and juicy, about a full rack, with a rich and tangy barbecue sauce. The best deal is the early bird special with 2 or 3 courses, which has the ribs as a main dish. Wait staff was a touch slow, but since the bar was closed for Good Friday, I'm sure that was the source of the confusion. All in all a great meal at a reasonable price, just up the street from Temple Bar!

we were here last night, we smpled the o' hara's stout and the red ale, the stout was amazing according to my husband, the red ale was very good but if i had time i would have liked to have sampled a variety,

we had ribs which my husband said were excellent with a sauce using ale and i had fish and chips which were plentiful and tasty,

the young bar man was very pleasant and friendly, his older colleague however seemed bored and while not rude wasn't overly friendly,

would definitely visit again

Food was fine and service efficient but marred by overcharging. The menu clearly stared that between 12 noon and 4pm all tea, coffer and soft drinks were 1.50 euros. We were overcharged on all 3. When I pointed this out the server (who was in charge at the time) found it a surprise and said he would alter he bill - which he did for the tea and coffee. I couldn't be bothered to argue again so paid and left - but no tip!! What a shame something like this can spoil an experience.
